La Liga Team of the Week: Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi star

The Portuguese is back in following a spectacular showing in the derby against Atletico Madrid, while the Argentine makes the cut again as he closes in on Gerd Muller's mark

Barcelona broke the all-time record start in La Liga on Saturday by beating Athletic Bilbao in style at Camp Nou. The Catalans ran out 5-1 winners to take their total in the Primera Division to 40 points out of a possible 42.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are now six points adrift after losing 2-0 to Real in the derby at the Santiago Bernabeu. Jose Mourinho's men are still 11 points off the pace.

In other games, Getafe upset Malaga, Valladolid surprised Sevilla and Betis got an excellent win at Deportivo La Coruna. Here, Goal.com looks at the standout performers from the 14th round of Liga action.

In goal, Miguel Angel Moya was superb as Getafe held on to beat Malaga and win three vital points for the Madrid-based side at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

His team-mate Alberto Lopo also impressed in defence and scored the goal which gave Getafe victory. In Galicia, Nacho set up two goals for Ruben Castro as Betis claimed all three points in an entertaining 3-2 win, while Adriano was also on target for Barcelona in a fine display at home to Athletic.

In midfield, Cesc Fabregas is showing the form which made him a huge hit in England, assisting Adriano and adding Barca's fourth goal with a fine finish. Mesut Ozil looked back at his best and netted the second as Real Madrid beat Atletico, while Oscar chipped in with a strike and an assist as Valladolid defeated Sevilla.

Lionel Messi closed in on Gerd Muller's record for goals in a calendar year with his latest double, this time against Athletic, while Ruben Castro also struck twice for Sevilla at Deportivo and Cristiano Ronaldo was superb for Madrid in the derby, crashing home the opening goal with a fantastic free kick, setting up Ozil for the second and hitting the woodwork twice. Carlos Vela was impressive again and netted for Real Sociedad in the Basques' 5-2 win at Valencia.
